No need to be rude camo.

But it will do fine most likely.

I have stock gears and ran 35x15 boggers and a decently built 22r/
and i only really had problems with going free way speeds.

you'll be fine until you have the money to do it.
in 4lo it'll do great, but go with 529s or lower when you do gear

Here's a site that I've found rather helpful:

http://www.brian894x4.com/Gearratiosanddiffs.html

Shows you how to tell what ratio you have and what you'll need to run what tire.
Recommended gear ratios are about 3/4 of the way down.

Hope that helps, Camo's right though, you should search, it is kinda hard to find stuff on this site sometimes though.

i would do a lock right in rear and a selectable or something in front when you have the money. i just run open diffs and spin circles around everyone on the trail, but im gonna stuff in gears and a rear lock rite soon

not being rude...just find it kind of stupid that people these days that have access to a computer...can't use punctuation..makes stuff hard to read

i had 31" swampers...did circles around all the fullsize trucks and the jeeps in my area in the mud..in my '80 4x4...if i would have had a set of 33" boggers and lockers...it would have been UNSTOPPABLE.

ARB.

E locker.


selectable means you have the choice to have an OPEN differential (like stock) or you can flip a switch and LOCK the axles together.

your best bet is either www.trail-gear.com or do chevy 63s in the rear and rears up front.
